Managing your Membership
Access to the Membership Portal
There is NO entry allowed into our facilities without a physical photo ID.
We do not allow guests, you must be a Michigan State University student, faculty, staff, alumni, or retiree to be eligible to purchase a membership.

Students
You just need to log in with your MSU NetID in our membership portal to read and sign the acknowledgement of risk to gain access to all the great recreation programs at MSU. All students pay the recreation fee along with their tuition to help fund enhancements to Rec Sports facilities and programs. Your membership will be activated directly to your student ID, which you will scan when entering the facility.
The Acknowledgement of Risk form must be signed before using Rec Sports facilities.
Note for Graduate Teaching Assistants: As part of your collective bargaining agreement, you are exempt from paying the mandatory fee on your tuition bill. Therefore, if you would like to have a membership, you must purchase a membership.
